1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: On this episode of Nutsworld, I'm joined by members of

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: my Inner Circle Club for a fascinating conversation about a

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: wide range of issues and topics on their minds. We

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: hold these regular video conference calls so that we can

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: have an honest discussion about what is happening in America today.

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I find it extraordinarily helpful to me personally and helping

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: think through the issues that are facing us. So I

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: hope you'll find this episode of Newts World informative, and

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: if you'd like to become a member of My Inner

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Circle Club, please go to Newtsinnercircle dot com and sign

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: up for a one or two year membership today. Thank

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: you for joining us and for being part of my

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Inner Circle. I really appreciate it, and I find I

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: learned stuff out of every one of these sessions. A

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: couple quick things. Keep your eye on the continuing resolution.

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I think there are only twelve legislative days in September,

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and the year officially ends at the end of September

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: the fiscal year, so huge challenges and Speaker McCarthy has

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: I think at least four members who may or may

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: not be available. One is a member from Oklahoma who

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: was gored by a bull in his ranch and has

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: got a health problem. Another a young woman member who's

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: having a baby in September. A third is a very

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: good member who tragically his wife is extremely ill and

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: he is resigning to go home and be with her.

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: And then, of course we have George Santis, who has

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: got problems in New York and may or may not

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: be here for all of September. So McCarthy's margin of

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: maneuver may be even narrower than it was earlier this year.

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: They've got to find a way to keep the government

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: open or to pick the right fights. When I was Speaker,

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: we closed the government twice our first year in office,

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: and as a result, became the first re elected Republican

34
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: House majority since nineteen twenty eight, because we proved to

35
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: people we were serious. So keep your eye on that.

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: That's going to be a very significant question. Second, I

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: just literally left a meeting where I was getting briefed

38
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: on the possibility that Jack Smith, who is the lawyer

39
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: who has been going after Donald Trump, may himself have

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: a very substantial scandal about to break, which of course

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: would cause chaos and the Justice Department effort to destroy

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump so that's coming up. I think Biden's visit

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: to Malle is going to turn into one of those

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: disasters which haunts people. For example, in the hurricane in

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans, mishandling had haunted George W. Bush for the

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: rest of his presidency. The fact not just that Biden

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: said no comment when I ask about it, but when

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: he went out there, the fact that he compared a

49
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: house fire in his home and said, gee, I almost

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: destroyed my corvette, almost killed my wife, which turned out

51
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: to be a total lie. It was a kitchen fire

52
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: put out in the kitchen, didn't spread anywhere. But to

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: compare that to a wildfire, which has now killed more

54
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Americans than any other wildfire in history, it's just to

55
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: sign this guy's nuts. He is totally out of touch

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: with reality. They may well find a thousand people dead

57
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: by the time they're done. The firefighters are having a

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: hard time psychologically because they're finding children, they're finding entire

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: families who were burned to death, and they apparently can't

60
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: check DNA because the fire was so hot that it

61
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: burned out the DNA. This is a horrendous, terrible situation,

62
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and people in Mali are pointing out that the seven

63
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: hundred dollars that FEMA sent out is dramatically less than

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants are getting. So we're going to favor illegal

65
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: immigrants over people in Mali who are surviving a disaster.

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: This is going to keep going on. It's going to

67
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: be a big deal, and I think that Mali could

68
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: be one of those turning points with the American people,

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: including young people who are apparently following this very carefully

70
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: and are very shaken by what they're seeing. Finally, Malie

71
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: also may be a place where the left's crazy ideas

72
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: cost lives. The fact that you had a water manager

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: who for five hours would not release the water to

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: the fire department because you wanted to have a discussion

75
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: about equity, the average person just thinks that's crazy and criminal.

76
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on, and I think we're

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: going to have a lot to talk about, and I'm

78
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: going to toss it wide open so folks have a

79
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: chance to ask what they want and comment on what

80
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: they want.

81
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: Speaker.

82
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: This is just a real trait, always one. What does

83
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: the Sandus have to do to gain support and get

84
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: away from the pack, and what do you think Trump

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: can do to gain support? Nationally, not just his base.

86
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: I'm worried about these independents.

87
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: There are two very very good questions. They are very

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: different questions. I think in Dessantas's case, he's got to

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: come across as likable. He's going to come across as knowledgeable,

90
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: and he's got to come across as focused on beating Biden,

91
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: not beating Trump, not beating the other people in that stage.

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: He's got to be bigger than the stage. Otherwise he

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: continues to shrink and then he has no hope.

94
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: In terms of.

95
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Trump, there are two things. One is the worse Biden gets,

96
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the better Trump's going to do. He's basically tied nationally now.

97
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at affordability, which Joe DeSantis,

98
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: who runs Our America's New Majority Project, pointed out to me,

99
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: is now a much bigger issue. Fifty seven percent of

100
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the country says the number one economic problem is affordability

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: fifteen percent its jobs.

102
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: That's an amazing number. So it may well be.

103
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: That between his terrible performs and MAUI his general inability

104
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to be competent, that one I think as possible Biden

105
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: is not going to be the nominee, which would lead,

106
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: I think, either to the governor of California, Michigan or Pennsylvania,

107
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: probably being the Democratic nominee, and that will be interestingly chaotic.

108
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: But I think that Trump has got to communicate clearly

109
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: what he achieved in the past. Look at the price

110
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: of gasoline, look at the employment level, look at all

111
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the different things that were right in the Trump years.

112
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: And he's got to have a handful of really big

113
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: ideas that people say, Yeah, that's the future I want,

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: and I want it enough that I'll support Donald Trump,

115
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: even if sometimes he irritates me.

116
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: Patrick asks, do you agree with me that the Biden

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: administration is hiding their Ukrainian aid details, because if it

118
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: were public knowledge, it would be pretty obvious they are

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: trying to keep the knowledge Ukraine has about Hunter from

120
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: the Russians.

121
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I think that they're probably hiding the details because they're

122
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: competent and because they don't want us to see how

123
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: much has been lost, how much has been wasted, how

124
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: much corruption there is.

125
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: I think that's a much more likely thing.

126
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: I think that Frankly Zelenski would be glad to release

127
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: anything about Biden. And the fact is we know a

128
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: lot about Biden. We know that Biden said that he

129
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: would take away a billion dollars in foreign aid unless

130
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: they fired the prosecutor who was going after Barisma, which

131
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: is the company which was paying one hundred million dollars

132
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: a year. We know that, I mean Biden himself has

133
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: said it, so it's not a secret. The totality of

134
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: the Biden family corruption is what's so staggering. Kazakhstan, Romania, Ukraine, Russia,

135
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Communist China. It's hard to believe that one family could

136
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: be getting money from them many different places.

137
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: He knew, great to see you, Glad to see your well,

138
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 5: and I agree with you that Biden.

139
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 6: Won't be the nominee, and it.

140
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: May well be my erstwhile governor here in California who

141
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: has done an absolutely horrible And the trouble is that

142
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 5: President Trump did a fine job. He got us great

143
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 5: Supreme Court justices and frankly beat Hillary, which was a

144
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: service to humanity as far as any of us could

145
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 5: are concerned. But the trouble is that he's just turned

146
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: off so many people, especially suburban women. That's why he

147
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 5: lost in twenty twenty. I'm afraid it wasn't vote counting

148
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: the things. What can be done about this state of affairs.

149
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: Any decent Republican I think can beat Biden or Knew

150
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: Someome or anybody given their records. But that doesn't appear

151
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: to be what's going to happen with the primaries, because

152
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: the vote is so divided among all these candidates, and

153
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: President Trump is still very popular with a big segment

154
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 5: of the Republican base.

155
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, book, I think right now the odds are better

156
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: than sixty percent that Trump will be the nominee, and

157
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: therefore we have to figure out under what circumstance can

158
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: he carry suburban women. I would point out that actually

159
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: he does much better with married women than people think,

160
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: and that his great problem is with single women and

161
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: with African American women.

162
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: Those are the two.

163
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Big blocks where he loses so badly that it makes

164
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: everything else look worse. But I think when you get

165
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: into affordability, when you get into crime, when you get

166
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: into what the Teachers' union had been doing to the students,

167
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: there are a lot of issues that could bring people

168
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: back to Trump in ways that might be shocking by

169
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: the time we get done talking about it. So I'm

170
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: not convinced that it's impossible to elect Trump, but I

171
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: do think it's a hard fight, and he's going to

172
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: have to learn some things, and in the general election

173
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: he's going to have to, I think, have very strong,

174
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: very powerful appeals that transcend the degree to which he

175
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: irritates people. You look great, DOJ is doing everything they

176
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: can to convict President Trump prior to his being re elected.

177
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: What can we do.

178
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: One thing to look at is whether or not Congress

179
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: should off the funding for those parts of DOJ that

180
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: are involved. If we truly believe it's unconstitutional, and we

181
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: truly believe that it's political rather than judicial, we almost

182
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: have a moral obligation not to pay for it. House

183
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Republicans in particular, and frankly senators have to ask themselves,

184
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: why would you vote to pay for something you believe

185
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: is unconstitutional and illegal? And that may become a major

186
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: issue in the next thirty or forty days.

187
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 7: Assuming that Biden does not run, and Pritzker, Whitmer, and

188
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 7: Newsome notwithstanding, do you think Michelle Obama may throw her

189
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 7: head into the ring? Would she be a viable candidate? Frankly,

190
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 7: her popularity scares me.

191
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'd say two things.

192
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: One is I actually looked at that she's not that

193
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: popular among admired women. She ties Kamala Harris, So I

194
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: think that we think she's very popular. When you actually

195
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: go out and look at the polling numbers, she's not

196
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: particularly strong. Second, I would say that you're likely to

197
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: get a Democratic governor. It's interesting to try to think

198
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: about how is this all going to unfold. Will there

199
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: be a magic point where Biden will decide or Jill

200
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: will decide that he just can't.

201
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: Do it again?

202
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: Or will there be appoint where the news media decides

203
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: he can't do it again? I'll i'ing tell you is

204
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: the more I watch, I mean, his performance on Maui

205
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: was so embarrassing, frankly, so infuriating, and so lacking in

206
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: sensitivity that it's pretty hard to imagine people are going

207
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: to want him to be president again.

208
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 6: A successful tactic used by Democrats in twenty twenty two

209
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 6: during the Republican primaries was to fund the campaigns of

210
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 6: Republican candidates when the Democrats thought would have the least

211
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 6: chance of winning during the general election. If you accept

212
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 6: the results of the voting at voice value, the results

213
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 6: worked out pretty well for the Democrats. Do you think

214
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 6: that the Republicans could run a similar strategy in twenty

215
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 6: twenty four and fund candidate campaigns of third party candidates

216
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 6: for president who would most likely take votes away from Democrats.

217
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 6: Two candidates might be Harvard professor Cornell West, who is

218
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 6: running for president, and a second one might be Joe Manchin,

219
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 6: who's thinking about running for president. Does that sound like

220
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 6: a strategy that would be appropriate for Republicans?

221
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Well, I think individual, very wealthy people might follow that

222
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of strategy, and I think there's some evidence that

223
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: Cornell West, for example, clearly takes some votes away from Biden,

224
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: and I think frankly further softens up the black community

225
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: to support Trump. As somebody pointed out a while ago,

226
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Trump is actually gaining considerable ground, particularly among the male

227
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: African Americans who identify with the whole idea that somehow

228
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: we're in a situation where they had a sense of

229
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: police harassment and they're watching Trump being harassed and they're

230
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: actually identifying with him. So you can't tell how these

231
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: things are going to evolve. Cornell West is very articulate.

232
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: I've been on panels with him before, very tough. It

233
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: would be interesting. Mansion is a different phenomenon. But again,

234
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: I think both Mansion and Cornell West would draw votes

235
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: away from Biden, but not away from Trump. Hi, this

236
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: is newt. In my new book, March the Majority, The

237
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: Real Story of the Republican Revolution, I offer strategies and

238
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: insights for everyday citizens and for season politicians. It's both

239
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: a guide for political success and for winning back the Majority.

240
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, March the Majority outlines the sixteen

241
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: year campaign to write the Contract with America, explains how

242
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: we elected the first Republican House majority in forty years,

243
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: and how we worked with President Bill Clinton to pass

244
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: major reforms, including four consecutive balance budgets. March to the

245
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Majority tells the behind the scenes story of how we

246
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: got it done. Go to ginglishtree sixty dot com slash

249
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 8: Well, thank you and thank you. We are blessed to

250
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 8: have you. My question is is it possible And this

251
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 8: may sound really out there, but is it possible that

252
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 8: Secretary Yellen is working hand in hand with the socialist

253
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 8: administration in order to break the middle class with the

254
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 8: high interest rates and enrich the richest in the country.

255
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 8: High interest rates, enhance the large accounts and creates a

256
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 8: wall for hardworking retiree and military and their hope waning.

257
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 8: Everyone's hoping that the done will get back in and

258
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 8: fix things.

259
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Certainly, the big government socialists favor policies which hurt the

260
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: average American and help the government. That's why the whole

261
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: demand side approach of the federal reserve is anti American

262
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: citizens but doesn't bother the government at all. In fact,

263
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: government spending is a major driver now of inflation and

264
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: of the problem we have with affordability.

265
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: So I think that part's real.

266
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think that you have to

267
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: recognize these giant interest groups.

268
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: Want the money, and.

269
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: They've gotten together at the trough and they're trying to

270
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: pour as much slush money as they can to build

271
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: up their machine to try to win in twenty twenty four.

272
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be a major fight.

273
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: I think working middle class Americans, retirees, small business owners,

274
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: all of those groups have a big, big interest in

275
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: defeating the big government socialists.

276
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: We have a right in question from George Hiller. What

277
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: does Joe Biden's use of multiple aliases or fake names

278
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: for emails to and from Hunter Biden and by others

279
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: mean to you. Also, was Biden using a secret phone

280
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: paid by Hunter's company to communicate with Hunter and foreign nationals.

281
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: Well.

282
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer, who wrote Clinton Cash and has written a

283
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: series of books that are exposes, believes firmly that one

284
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden's companies paid for a phone and that

285
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: the House Republicans should be subpoenaing from AT and T

286
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: the records of that phone. I was a little surprised

287
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: last week when Chairman Comer reported that actually Biden was

288
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: using three different aliases to communicate with his son, and

289
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: was communicating about conversations he was having with the Ukrainian president,

290
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: which says to me that Biden lied so blatantly and

291
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: so directly the American people that it's really astonishing. Back

292
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: and look at his last debate with Donald Trump. He's

293
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: just plain, flat out line, there's no other way to

294
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: explain it, and he lied consistently. It's pretty sad to

295
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: think that the presidency of the United States, the White House,

296
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: is now occupied by a man who is a serial liar,

297
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: who apparently has no conscience, no sense of remorse, and

298
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: is willing to mislead all of the American people.

299
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, mister speaker.

300
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Is there any truth that the Democrats are purposely using

301
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: the legal system to use up most of Trump's campaign

302
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: money for their election? Well, I think there's certainly a

303
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: side effect that they really like. There's a deliberate effort

304
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: around the country by Democrats to bankrupt Republicans, to bleed

305
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: them of money, to deprive them of lawyers. But it's

306
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty scary to see the scale of this and how

307
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: deep it is and how much they're doing.

308
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: Mister speaker.

309
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: Do you see any way to get the voters out

310
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 3: of the mailbox and back into the voting booths.

311
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: It's probably not in the short run.

312
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: I agree with Governor Younkin, who wrote a piece for

313
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: USA Today recently. They have Republicans who've got to learn

314
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: to vote early. We've got to learn to have pole

315
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: watchers everywhere, and I think we'll probably have thirty or

316
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: forty thousand pole watchers next year. You know, we have

317
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: to play the game the way the game's current rules are,

318
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: and I think that means that Republicans have to become

319
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: very good at getting an early vote, getting absentee votes,

320
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: getting early votes where you show up to vote in

321
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: person and trying to make sure that we don't start

322
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: election day so far behind that we can't possibly win.

323
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 4: And we have one more write in. This one comes

324
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 4: from Mike Duval. Mike asks what is your perspective on

325
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 4: the purpose of the World Economic Forum?

326
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, I have concluded that the World Economic Forum is

327
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: a gathering of rich left wingers who plot with each

328
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: other how to take over and change countries no matter

329
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: what the people of that country want. So I think

330
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 1: it's a very anti democratic, anti popular, and an anti

331
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: individual organization of rich people who all recognize each other

332
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: and are all excited by the belief that since they're rich,

333
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: they should get to design and dictate the world, and

334
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: I think it's frankly dangerous. Let me say thank you

335
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: to Claire. I'm very grateful that you take the time

336
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: to do this. And let me say to everybody else,

337
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: if you find this useful and you find it informative,

338
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: I hope you'll tell your friends I urge them to

339
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: join the Inner Circle.

340
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: I find it a very useful place.

341
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: I think the questions are often fascinating and they remind

342
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: me of things I need to be thinking about.

343
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: So I hope you have a really good time.

344
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: I hope also you'll tell all your friends about March

345
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: to the Majority, the book that I wrote with Joe

346
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: Gaylord about how we created the first Republican majority. It

347
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: was a sixteen year effort and it was the first

348
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: majority in forty years. And the book also talks about

349
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: how we negotiate it successfully with Bill Clinton to get

350
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: welfare reform, tax cuts, and the only four balanced budgets

351
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: in your lifetime. So I think you'll find March the

352
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: Majority is important, and as we start drifting towards Christmas,

353
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: I hope you will remind your friends that will make

354
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: it great Christmas gift. Also, so thank you very much
